Substract days to a date

Question

Does somebody know a method to substract to a given date (in String format dd/mm/yyyy) a given number of days??
public String restarDias(String fecha, int dias) throws Exception {
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
Date fechaD = df.parse(fecha);
return dateResult;
}.. thanks!

Hi,
you can do this easily when you define a Calendar and then apply the method:
//somewhere in code
//Calendar Cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Cal.add(Calendar.DATE,3); //to add 3 days
Cal.add(Calendar.DATE,-1);//to substract one day
